Circa 1910 Ty Cobb Photo

Original news photo picturing Ty Cobb sliding into third base. Cobb is captured here arriving in a cloud of dust as the umpire stands ready to make a call. Based upon the jersey and hat style shown here, this photo was most likely taken sometime between the years 1908 and 1911, a time period that is also consistent with Cobb's youthful visage. This is a particularly exciting and high-quality original Ty Cobb photograph. The photo (4.5 x 3.25 inches) is affixed (by means of adhesive) to a larger cardboard mount bearing a "Culver Pictures Inc." proprietary stamp on the reverse. In Excellent condition overall. Reserve $200. Estimate $400+. SOLD FOR $1,175
